The Woodstock Talk Page[edit]

Please don't blame Pinkadelica for the original deletion of your "first-person account," nor for the suggestion that you start a blog. That was me. It's really nothing personal - the Talk page is for discussion of the article, not your reminiscences. Please consult the Wiki "Not a Forum" Policy cited by Pinkadelica for elaboration. Since you are the "Author of The Closer's Song," you could go back to Xlibris with this and your other recent writings, or start a blog at Blogspot or someplace. And yes, I went to Woodstock, but whatever recollections I may have have of the event do not belong on the article's Talk page. Seduisant (talk) 15:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Xyzauto. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Patrick G Colucci, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Patrick G Colucci to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 06:05, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Patrick Colucci - Writer.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Patrick Colucci - Writer.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 11:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
